Olftce Interiors Demonstratc the Beauty of Redwood Paneling

Redrvood Export Company, foreign trade division of the California Redwood industry, recently moved into a suite of three rooms in the Financial Center Building, San Francisco, finished completely in three distinct types of commercial Redwood paneling, available at moderate cost to both the domestic and foreign trade.

Fl,undreds of visitors already have had an opportunity to examine the possibilities of paneling with strictly commer'cial grade Redlvood, both in wide and narrow vertical boards and rvide horizontals, rvhere fineness of texture and blending of color add charm to busy surroundings.

The oflices were designed by Lawrence J. Klein, a member of the technical staff of the California Redwood Association, and the mill rvork completed by J. Rehm & Co., San Francisco builders.

Redrvood \l'as used in every detail, including the walls, venetian blinds, floor blocks and built-in features.

Redwood has long been one of the notable woods for paneling in homes and has been used widely in ofifices in California as rvell as many eastern cities. Non-commercial grades, such as curly redrvood and redwood burl, were used often in the past. Paneling in the new Redwood Export Company suite is confined strictly to commercial grade redwood, offering outstanding proof of the pra,cti,cability and beauty of such interiors.

Publication Orders Show House Building Interest

A recent indication of the tremendous current interest in small hom'e building comes to attention in the records of publications requests received during the past month by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Out of a total distribution of more than two thousand five hundred publications distributed in the past thirty days, one thousand sixty-nine were on small home building topics. Leading in this list of requests received were, "fnteresting Small Flomes," "For l{ome Lovers," "I{ouse for Growing Income," "Modernizing Pictorial," "Wood Floors," Ceilings of Wood," "House Framing Details," "Stronger Frame Walls," "Wood Construction," "Wood Handbook," "Mellow Wood Interiors," "Wood'Walls," "Lumber Grade-Use Guide," "Wood Structural Design Data," "Windows and Heat Costs," "Federal Housing Administration Technical Bulletin No. 4," "Exhibit Houses," and "Soft Warm Beauty of Paneling." It is interesting to note also that a third of the requests for booklets of this kind came from engineers, architects and contractors. Another third came from individuals interested in house construction, about one-twelfth from the lumber industry and the balance from schools and libraries.

In large demand also has been the "Book of Facts" covering termite control, for which the total distribution to date runs 19.625.

From the joint retail merchandising service report for February, March and April of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, we see also the same trend toward

THUS WOULD I GO !

Let me live out my years in heat of blood !

Let me die drunken with the dreamers wine !

Let me not see this soul-house built of mud

Go toppling to the dust-a broken shrine.

Let me go quickly-like a candle light

Snuffed out just at the heydey of its glow.

Give me high noon-and let it then be night !

Thus would I go !

And grant that when I face the grisly Thing, My song may trumpet down the gray Perhaps.

Let me as a tune-swept fiddle string

That feels the Master-Melody-and snaps !

(From "The Quest" by Macmillan).

He Must Be Scotch

Nurse: "Whom are they operating on today?"

Orderly: "A fellow who had a golf batrl knocked down his throat at the links."

"And who is the man waiting so nervously in the hall? A relative?"

"No, that's the golfer. He's waiting for his ball."

The Law

The law should be loved a little because it is felt to be just; feared a little because it is severe; hated a little because it is to a certain degree out of sympathy with the prevalent temper of the day; and respected because it is felt to be a necessity.-Emile Fourget.

Not What He Thought

"Jack, dear," she murmured, "I hardly know how to tell you, but soon-soon-there will be a third sharing our little love nest."

"My darling," he cried, "are you certain?"

"Positive," she replied, "I had a letter from mother this afternoon, saying she is coming to live with us next week."

There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright.-Ouida.

Vacation

He started off at dawn for summer campHow long he had been waiting for this day ! Our little lad, whose face stiLl bears the stamp Of babyhood; who has never been away From home at night; who hove a heavy pack

To boyish shoulders, suddenly squared with pride; Departed, laughing, not once looking backI'm glad he didn't know, his mother cried. Dear Father-God, take special care of himIIe's very trusting, and he is so young, Return him sun-bronzed, sturdy, sound of limb; With songs of wind and water on his tongue; With friends, adventure, camp-fire dreams to prize; With memories of mountains in his eyes.

Dressing The Garbage

"Anne Mae," said the mistress of the house, finally giving way to curiosity, "I notice you have been taking our empty grapefruit hulls home with you. What do you do with them?"

The Negro maid looked up at her mistress with a sheepish grin. "Yes'm," she admitted, "I'se been carrying 'em home. I think they makes my garbage look so stylish."

Life is made up with sobs, sniffles and smiles with sniffles predominating.-O. Henry.

The Top Sergeant

The top sergeant sang out just before the company was dismissed: "All those fond of music step two paces forward."

With visions of a soft job in the regimental band, half a dozen men stepped out.

The sergeant growled: "Now then, you six mugs, get busy and carry that piano up to the top foor of the officers' quarters."
